Dad of 3 branded 'pervert' for photographing his own kids

The article..

This is really unbelievable.... what on earth is wrong with these people? How can one just assume that anyone taking pictures of children is a pervert? I would just assume he was taking pics of his kids.

What is really funny is all the CCTV's they have over there but this is what people complained about.

What I don't understand is why the woman running the slide told him to stop taking pictures when her father, The owner of the company said this -"Mr Gwinnett, 58, a LibDem councillor in Wolverhampton, said: ‘Our policy is to ask people taking photos whether they have children on the slide. If they do, then that is fine. "-. If they have a policy then why aren't the workers following it? Thats the question I have.

Guilty until proven innocent is the way of many people any more. Many will jump to the worst conclusion first without checking out the truth at all. It is seen in many arenas, politics is nowhere close to immune to it, and it bleeds over to everywhere else. How many people are afraid of the doctored up Halloween candy? How many know that there was very few cases that actually happened, then how many know that it was someone the kids knew that actually did the deed, even to the point it was their own family? Yet we all believe that strangers actually do this, because the facts were not taken into consideration before jumping to the conclusion, and it was propagated as truth...

While there is no byline on the article, I get the impression this occurred in England. That said, we're not far behind the rampant socialist madness gripping much of Europe these days.

What I can't believe is all the broo-haha people are making about a couple of nutty women in a park. Its not a reflection of this entire country (besides, it didn't happen here) or the world, just a couple of particularly stupid and/or paranoid people. If this qualifies as news then the outlet must have had a very slow news day or the reporter isn't very good.

I think you're on the money. The media will stir it untill it stinks. Just printing the story gives it legs, plus a bit of undeserving credibility to the woman. It also perpetuates this kind of behavior to like minded people.

Wow, it amazes me that people act this way. People like that need to be eradicated from the gene pool. Leave the poor guy alone.

This is just utter BS on the part of the other woman. It was none of her business. I take pictures of my Lady's kids all the time. Her kids are always doing something goofy and off the wall.

Let that woman come up to me and start something. I will give her something else to take home. Actually, I won't have too. That lady of mine would byotch slap her so fast her ears would ring for a month.

Isn't life in the USA grand!? We can get into a confrontation for taking pictures of our own kids, while the judges let the rapists, perverts, and child molesters have access to the best legal defense at our expense, and then either dismiss or plea bargain the charges down...................God Bless America!
